What Missouri asks of a business with a website

Some homework before launch:

• Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
• Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
